I don't have a link to a story or anything yet. Apparently her publicist just notified news outlets a short time ago.

Liz was 79.

    She really was something else. As Archie Bunker said, "that dame would do anything to drive the world nuts!" RIP Ms Taylor.

    Um...I got it on an email list from an RSS feed I subscribed to, genius, not a "dead celebrity" email list. It's apparently, headline news worthy of instant notification worldwide through all outlets. If Qaddafi was dead there probably wouldn't be a notice. Liz Taylor is more important, don'tcha know?


    BTW, this story came up this morning as well:

    I hope your eyes are burning.

    I was trying to be funny. Womp womp.

    Also, only ugly / fat people ever partake in any kind of protest involving nudity. I'ts a truth of the universe.

    Many, many years ago the Sunday newspaper magazine (Parade?) ran a bit on identifying pics of 20 or so Hollywood stars in their prime. The twist was they took straight-on head shots and mirrored them so that you saw either two left or right halves merged together. The answer key included the original, unsplit photos.

    Anyway, most celeb's were unrecognizable, some kinda looked like themselves once you read who they were and a few were recognizable, albeit different looking.

    Only one was virtually indistinguishable from the original photo... Liz. Her face was perfectly symetrical.

    For me, Ms. Taylor's performance in "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof" was unforgettable and mesmerizing. A great actress, a superstar amongst superstars, and a great humanitarian....not to mention a fabulous looking woman.

    RIP

    If someone can embed the video in a post feel free to do so as I didn't know how to do that. I think this video-pics really deos her justice.

    It's real easy, dude. All you have to do is click the "Embed" button below the video on YouTube's page, copy the text that is highlighted for you automatically and then paste it here.

    There is now law in the US against such peace disturbers and hate promoting people? Such people should be arrested for troubling peace and promoting hatred. History should bring authorities in having enough wisdom to take actions and prosecute such sect type religions. This is a total disgrace and disrespect for a great American lady. Shame...

    It was just held up in the Supreme Court, in fact. I'm all for free speech, but I agree, that this is the pure definition of hate speech.

    Keep in mind that embedding videos only works in the Clubhouse (and maybe one other forum). SO maybe that was your problem.
